The Royal Battle between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will take place on 3 April 2019 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The rivalry between the two dates back to their first meeting in IPL 2008, since then the two have played each other 26 times and MI is leading the race.

Chennai Super Kings are carrying plenty of momentum with them having won their first three matches on the bounce.

Mumbai Indians will be playing at their home ground where they have beaten Chennai Super Kings five times out of eight.

Chennai Super Kings have lost four of the last five IPL matches they have played against the Mumbai Indians

Pitch Conditions

The pitch at the Wankhede is expected to be good for batting and a high-scoring affair can be expected tomorrow. With dew settling in, the team defending a target won’t have it easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Last year’s runners-up, Sunrisers Hyderabad, bounced back from their opening defeat as they chased 199 to beat Rajasthan Royals by five wickets last time out – David Warner top-scoring with 69 from 37 balls.

Warner also hit 85 in the opening defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders, taking him to 154 runs from 90 balls so far in this year’s tournament.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost both games so far, but there was significant improvement last time out as they fell to a six-run defeat chasing 188 against Mumbai Indians, to bounce back for being carted out for 70 by Chennai on the opening night.

Australia have now gained plenty of momentum by registering convincing wins over India in the last two matches of the series.

India have an impressive record at the Feroz Shah Kotla in the 50-over format; they have won 12 out of their 18 completed ODIs here.

The Indian wrist-spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal is likely to cause more problems for Australia at this ground.

Date. – 13 March 2019

Time – 13.30 GMT +5.30

Venue – Feroz Shah Kotla – Delhi, India

Winner – India

IND vs AUS Toss Prediction

Just like the previous game, there is a good chance of dew settling in later on in the evening which will make it difficult for the bowlers to grip the wet ball. So even though the last three one-day internationals played at this ground have been won by the side batting first, the toss-winning skipper may still elect to bowl first.
